  What does your .xsession-errors file say?  Are the Gnome programs in the

  The universe, they said, depended for its operation on the balance of four
forces which they identified as charm, persuasion, uncertainty and
bloody-mindedness.  Thus it was that the sun and the moon orbited the Disc
because they were persuaded not to fall down, but didn't actually fly away
because of uncertainty...
  Some druids suggested that there were certain flaws with this theory, but
senior druids explained very pointedly that there was indeed room for informed
argument, the cut and thrust of exciting scientific debate, and basically
it lay on top of the next solstice bonfire.
